Nix on Corpse Pix

Michigan is making it a crime - punishable by a maximum two years in prison and a US$5,000 fine - to take pictures of human remains at the bottom of the Great Lakes without permission of the next of kin. The law was prompted by video images of decomposed remains taken near the wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald. Law enforcement, archaeologists, and medical or scientific teams may get court exemptions.
